Your Personal Foods - ????

I see a tab marked "Your Personal Foods" - not sure how to utilize this. I did finally figure out how to save a meal, but don't know how figure a casserole or special dish I like to make - HELP

I'm not sure what the personal foods tab is either, but if you want to figure out the calories in a casserole or other meals you make, enter each ingredient into the recipe builder, enter the serving size and it will give you the # of calories for each serving.

ETA: I think the "my foods" tab is when you enter foods and use them MFP creates a list... you can then search your list for a certain food w/o having to search the entire database.. that way if you've entered a food and you know it's correct, you can use that entry as opposed to something someone else entered that may not be correct.

Correct- The My Foods tab are the food items you have entered into the database. Not to be confused with recipes you have entered.

Thanks for the confirmation! I've never used the "my foods" tab but now that I know for sure what it is it's going to make looking for those specialty entries a little easier :flowerforyou:

I wish you could save your preferred version of a food (one you've checked as being correct) to your My Foods list and have them appear at the top of searches.
